Fine with me as I have truly unlimited internet. I can't see what the fuss is as if your internet connection is patchy change isp to a more reliable one.
Well, that's, like, your opinion, man.
Personally, I have 80MBit cable with amazing uptime. Much of my equipment is technically online all the time. However: I will not, ever, buy anything that actually requires me to be online 24/7.
Even with steam and its spotty offline mode I have made sure that I only get games on sales at or below 5, sparsely 15 bucks a pop - with the firm knowledge of not owning, more like "renting" these games until something goes wrong: The 21st century version of going through the bargain bin at the dollar store. There are very few exceptions to this, namely WH40k Space Marine, Dawn of War 2 and the Orange Box, that I bought at full retail price. The first two were a lapse in judgment due to extreme franchise/dev fanboyism, the latter is a game collection of undeniable quality and value.
So... if this turns out to be true the 360 successor will not even be considered by me.
Sure, a 100 bucks console with a PSN like subscription model at 10 bucks per month and delivering full retail-quality games, not "monthly DLC-crippled shovelware" titles may
perhaps convince me otherwise, but seriously, that's extremely unlikely.
